James LaBrie has been discovering his Heavy roots for the last few albums now. Static Impulse arguably being the heaviest of them all. This time around he had the help of guitarist Peter Wichers on board as a songwriter. The songs are a perfect blend of Dream Theater meets Soilwork, the screams this time are at a minimum done by Peter Wildoer. It's a bit poppier as well focusing on more melodic landscapes, but that is perfectly fine, the album is just as heavy. it's a great representation of what James LaBrie brings to the table outside of Dream Theater.
